<h1>ov_clear</h1>

<p><i>declared in "vorbis/vorbisfile.h";</i></p>

<p> After a bitstream has been opened using <a href="ov_fopen.html">ov_fopen()</a>/<a href="ov_open.html">ov_open()</a>/<a href="ov_open_callbacks.html">ov_open_callbacks()</a> and decoding is complete, the application must call <tt>ov_clear()</tt> to clear
the decoder's buffers.  <tt>ov_clear()</tt> will also close the file unless it was opened using <a href="ov_open_callbacks.html">ov_open_callbacks()</a> with the <tt>close_func</tt> callback set to NULL.<p>

<tt>ov_clear()</tt> must also be called after a successful call to <a href="ov_test.html">ov_test()</a> or <a href="ov_test_callbacks.html">ov_test_callbacks()</a>.<p>

</dl>
